Coordenação interinstitucional para o desenvolvimento local: um estudo em Araçuaí, Minas Gerais

This essay aims to discuss local development under the prospect of coordinated intervention of multiple organizations, considering different thematic areas of action, different economic sectors and regions of origin; structured in different methodologies and owners of different social technologies field of expertises. Search to identify determinants, facilitators, and restrictive factors of cross sectorial and cross organizational coordination processes for a common purpose. The field research was conducted at a region of State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where a group of 13 organizations that fit the profile described above, joined up to work jointly, facilitating the environment for local development. The region is between those with the lowest incomes in Brazil. The objective of this study was to verifry what extent the practices implemented by the organizations context (the municipality in question has population of less than 40.000 inhabitants), are contributing to the formation and / or strengthening of a local scene of more opportunities that compete for the quality of life of the population. To meet this goal were interviewd 52 citizens between representatives of organizations, the government, civil society and citizens directly benefit from the Sustainable Araçuaí iniciative, using the semi-structured interview. The result has been the relationship between partnerships determining factors, facilitators and restrictive labour, structured on a conceptual map, and the perception of the impact that these actions have caused coordinates the council from the perspective of the interviewees

Abordagens institucionalistas das parcerias público-privadas: as experiências da Inglaterra e de Minas Gerais

Parcerias Público-Privadas representaram um dos pilares das Reformas do Estado internacionalmente. No Brasil, modalidades de parcerias foram introduzidas durante o curso dos anos 90, culminando com a aprovação da Lei das Parcerias Público-Privadas, instituídas com o objetivo de estimular investimentos em infra-estrutura após a primeira etapa de privatizações e concessões, sob a inspiração da experiência britânica de Private Finance Initiative. O aparente isomorfismo sugerido pelas melhores práticas internacionais, contudo, não raramente obscurece variedades histórico-institucionais que influenciam o desenho das PPPs entre os países, em especial a estrutura de incentivos e a credibilidade de longo prazo dos contratos. O objeto deste trabalho é discutir como a literatura institucionalista de diferentes tradições teóricas – sociologia, economia e ciência política – explica a interação entre o ambiente institucional e as estruturas de governança das parcerias, modulando suas características e influindo nos resultados. Ao fim, descreve, à luz da experiência britânica de parcerias, a implantação do programa de PPP no Estado de Minas Gerais, ilustrando variáveis e hipóteses extraídas da literatura.

O processo de implementação de reformas gerenciais na educação básica: São Paulo (2007-2010) e Minas Gerais (2004-2010) em perspectiva comparada

O estudo do processo de implementação era considerado o missing link na teoria de políticas públicas. O despertar do interesse pelo tema vem do início da década de 1970 após uma série de fracassos de programas públicos voltados ao combate da pobreza nos Estados Unidos da América. O pequeno número de estudos em relação ao tema gestão da educação pública no Brasil também pode ser observado. A maior parte dos autores brasileiros tem se limitado à análise de uma ou duas inovações e seus impactos sobre a melhoria da qualidade da educação. As reformas educacionais recentes, no entanto, compreendem vários componentes inovadores que vêm sendo implementados em conjunto. A presente tese realiza uma investigação sobre o processo de implementação de reformas gerenciais da educação em dois importantes estados brasileiros: Minas Gerais e São Paulo. O foco do estudo é o processo de implementação, ou seja, a ação de múltiplos agentes do poder executivo com vistas em operacionalizar cada um dos componentes integrantes da reforma. Este estudo conclui que a eficácia da implementação está diretamente ligada à natureza do componente gerencial em questão e ao estilo de implementação que ele exige. Os componentes cuja implementação depende exclusivamente do alto escalão estão diretamente ligados à força política do governo e à qualidade dos quadros centrais da reforma. Já para aqueles componentes cuja eficácia da implementação demanda a atuação direta dos professores, os governos devem atuar na estruturação da gerência intermediária para que ela exerça efetivamente as funções de intermediação, apoio e monitoramento dos professores in loco.

Indicadores socieconômicos e criação de áreas naturais protegidas em Minas Gerais

Nature Protection Areas (NPA) are important in the modern world, although still created with no well-defined criteria, overall in state and municipal spheres. In addition, there are no consistent information on the existence or factors that influence the creation and distribution of these areas. The present work had the objectives of identifying the Nature Protection Areas in Minas Gerais, Brazil, considering the municipalities and their mesoregions; perform a space-temporal analysis of the NPAs in Minas Gerais; relate the existence of NPAs with the Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) and the municipal Gini Index (GI); relate the existence of NPA with the space-temporal and population density of each municipality; relate the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with the presence of NPAs; relate the existence of NPAs with the occurrence of preservation areas in municipalities within the Atlantic Forest Biome; and verify the influence of the Ecological Sales and Services Tax (Ecological ICMS) institute over the creation of municipal NPAs in Minas Gerais. To reach these objectives, we researched databases, governmental websites, contacted managers and sent questionnaires to the 853 municipalities of Minas Gerais. After tabulating the data, statistical tests were applied to verify possible correlations. The results showed that the state has 9.26% of its territory protected, with the predominance of units of Sustainable Use, especially Environmental Protection Areas, which constitute 69.9% of this area. Only 1.96% of the territory are protected by Integral Protection (IP). We found no correlation between MHDI and the presence of NPAs. However, we verified that municipalities with IP units present higher GI when compared to the others, suggesting that the presence of this conservation unit (CU) model may be associated to social inequality. The results also showed a higher concentration CU in regions that use little of its natural resources as main economic basis and in municipalities with higher GDP. We also registered a positive correlation between the size of the municipalities, of the mesoregions, preserved area of the Atlantic Forest and population density. The Ecological ICMS did not contribute for a better IP in the state and, currently, does not represent an incentive to the creation of CU in Minas Gerais, even in the case of Environmental Protection Areas. This work registered a high degree of vulnerability if the protection system in this state, based on low restriction conservation units.

Vibrational spectroscopy of the phosphate mineral lazulite – (Mg, Fe)Al2(PO4)2·(OH)2 found in the Minas Gerais, Brazil

This research was done on lazulite samples from the Gentil mine, a lithium bearing pegmatite located in the municipality of Mendes Pimentel, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Chemical analysis was carried out by electron microprobe analysis and indicated a magnesium rich phase with partial substitution of iron. Traces of Ca and Mn, (which partially replaced Mg) were found. The calculated chemical formula of the studied sample is: (Mg0.88, Fe0.11)Al1.87(PO4)2.08(OH)2.02. The Raman spectrum of lazulite is dominated by an intense sharp band at 1060 cm-1 assigned to PO stretching vibrations of of tetrahedral [PO4] clusters presents into the HPO2/4- units. Two Raman bands at 1102 and 1137 cm-1 are attributed to both the HOP and PO antisymmetric stretching vibrations. The two infrared bands at 997 and 1007 cm-1 are attributed to the m1 PO3/4- symmetric stretching modes. The intense bands at 1035, 1054, 1081, 1118 and 1154 cm-1 are assigned to the v3PO3/4- antisymmetric stretching modes from both the HOP and tetrahedral [PO4] clusters. A set of Raman bands at 605, 613, 633 and 648 cm-1 are assigned to the m4 out of plane bending modes of the PO4, HPO4 and H2PO4 units. Raman bands observed at 414, 425, 460, and 479 cm-1 are attributed to the m2 tetrahedral PO4 clusters, HPO4 and H2PO4 bending modes. The intense Raman band at 3402 and the infrared band at 3403 cm-1 are assigned to the stretching vibration of the OH units. A combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy enabled aspects of the molecular structure of the mineral lazulite to be understood.

Assessment of the molecular structure of natrodufrénite – NaFe2+Fe3+5(PO4)4(OH)6•2(H2O), a secondary pegmatite phosphate mineral from Minas Gerais, Brazil

The mineral natrodufrénite a secondary pegmatite phosphate mineral from Minas Gerais, Brazil, has been studied by a combination of scanning electron microscopy and vibrational spectroscopic techniques. Electron probe analysis shows the formula of the studied mineral as (Na0.88Ca0.12)∑1.00(Mn0.11Mg0.08Ca0.04Zr0.01Cu0.01)∑0.97(Al0.02)∑4.91(PO4)3.96(OH6.15F0.07)6.22⋅2.05(H2O). Raman spectroscopy identifies an intense peak at 1003 cm−1 assigned to the ν1 symmetric stretching mode. Raman bands are observed at 1059 and 1118 cm−1 and are attributed to the ν3 antisymmetric stretching vibrations. A comparison is made with the spectral data of other hydrate hydroxy phosphate minerals including cyrilovite and wardite. Raman bands at 560, 582, 619 and 668 cm−1 are assigned to the ν4 bending modes and Raman bands at 425, 444, 477 and 507 cm−1 are due to the ν2 bending modes. Raman bands in the 2600–3800 cm−1 spectral range are attributed to water and OH stretching vibrations. Vibrational spectroscopy enables aspects of the molecular structure of natrodufrénite to be assessed.
